Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

At night, in the lobby of the front yard of Prince Chan’s mansion.

At this time, Gu Chan's family of four were sitting at the table eating dinner.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Gu Chan had no appetite to enjoy them.

Zuo Xin picked up some food for her and said, "Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell and have no appetite?"

"No, I was thinking about Wan'er and Ziyue. I wonder how the food they eat in the palace is." Gu Chan sighed.

Ever since the Queen Mother kept the two of them in Yongning Palace, Gu Chan had been thinking about them every day, fearing that they would suffer in the palace.

It’s a pity that with her current ability, she is not able to get them both out of Yongning Palace, otherwise she would never let the two ladies suffer such injustice.

Zuo Xin also began to feel uncomfortable.

Before she got married, she thought that she would definitely have conflicts with Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue, but after learning about their difficult situation, she began to sympathize with them.

So at this moment, she could only comfort Gu Chan and said, "Don't worry, my husband, the two sisters will be fine. Don't worry too much about them now, but strengthen yourself so that you can rescue them from the palace in the future."

"Yes! Then let's just live in the present first!" Gu Chan sighed.

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid ran in from the door and reported anxiously, "My Lord, something bad has happened. The head of Tianji Pavilion Renzong has arrived, and the carriage is parked outside the mansion."

"Xin'er, come with me to welcome him." Gu Chan said in a deep voice.

Then she and Zuo Xin quickly ran out of the lobby and ran towards the door.

Soon the two of them arrived at the door, and Gu Chan hurriedly clasped her fists and bowed, saying, "Gu Chan greets the Sect Master. I am sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. I hope the Sect Master will forgive me."

Feng Ji, the female leader of Renzong, came out of the carriage, walked slowly in front of Gu Chan and the others, and said sarcastically, "You are so good, Gu Chan! You have become a prince and have a high status, but you have forgotten me, the leader. It has been so long, and you have not come to Renzong to see me. Do I have to come to Chan Palace to see you in person?"

"Master, please forgive me. I have been too busy recently and I have no time to go back to Tianji Pavilion! Otherwise, I would definitely come to pay my respects to you. After all, I am still the commander of the Tenth Team of Renzong of Tianji Pavilion." Gu Chan explained.

"Well! It's good that you still remember that you are from my Tianji Pavilion." Feng Ji said coldly.

After saying that, she walked towards the mansion.

Gu Chan and Zuo Xin looked at each other, and both of them followed him in with serious expressions.

The three returned to the lobby.

Gu Chan quickly winked at Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua. The two elders understood, stood up, saluted to Feng Ji, and quietly took their leave.

Soon, there were only three of them left in the huge lobby.

Gu Chan asked, "Master, have you had dinner yet? How about I ask my servants to prepare a set of bowls and chopsticks for you so we can eat together?"

"No need. I came to see you tonight not for dinner, but for something else." Feng Ji said expressionlessly.

"What does Sect Leader mean?" Gu Chan asked doubtfully.

You know, ever since she became the leader of Renzong's tenth team, she has never done anything to let Renzong down in the past year or so. She even carried out the secret orders given to her by Fengji very well and did not neglect them.

So now that Feng Ji suddenly came to her in this way, she still felt a little confused.

Feng Ji sneered and said, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Why would I come to you now? Of course it's about the Ministry of Personnel."

"Ah? Sect Master, the six ministries of Kyoto are not under the jurisdiction of the three sects of Tianji Pavilion! Isn't it a bit overstepping the line for you to come to me for this matter? When the leaders of Tianzong and Dizong question you, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed!" Gu Chan reminded.

"You little bastard, you dare to threaten me?" Feng Ji shouted angrily.

Gu Chan quickly bowed and said, "Master, that's not right. I dare not threaten you."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me the order of the Ministry of Personnel! I am also here on the orders of the Crown Prince to ask for the order on his behalf. Since you are the commander of the Tenth Team of Renzong, you are my subordinate and should obey my orders and not disobey." Feng Ji ordered.

Gu Chan was stunned when she heard this, and the doubts in her heart were finally completely resolved.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Long actually changed his strategy this time. He no longer let Yan Li deal with her, but sent Renzong, the powerful female leader.

The most important thing is that she is the commander of Renzong's tenth team and has been Feng Ji's subordinate for a long time, so in this situation, it is really difficult for her to refuse the order of her immediate superior.

After understanding all this, Gu Chan asked, "Master, according to what you said, you and Renzong are now on the side of the Crown Prince, right?"

"Nonsense, the Crown Prince is my royal cousin who has been very close to me since childhood. If I don't support him, who should I support? Should I support that prisoner Xuanyuan Qing?" Feng Ji said unhappily.

Gu Chan was silent, staring at Feng Ji with difficulty on her face.

Feng Ji shouted coldly, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hand over the Ministry of Personnel Order to me right now?"

"Sect Master, this..."

"What? Do you want to disobey the orders of this sect master?" Feng Ji interrupted angrily.

Gu Chan slowly reached into the bag on her waist and tightly grasped the order of the Ministry of Personnel inside, unable to take it out for a long time.

It was because she understood that if the order fell into Yan Li's hands, Yan Li would definitely hand it over to the prince first, so that she would still have a chance to get the order back.

But if this order falls into Feng Ji's hands, it is hard to say whether she will hand it over to the prince.

At that time, it would be harder than climbing to the sky for her to get the order back from Feng Ji.

So this time Xuanyuan Long had come up with a surprising move, which really hit her right where she is, putting her in extreme difficulty.

When Gu Chan was in a dilemma, Zuo Xin quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Master, don't be anxious! You and your husband must have not seen each other for a long time! How about this, I'll have the servants take the dishes away first, and then serve a jar of the best Maozi, you can drink and chat, just like catching up!"

"Well! Not bad. You are worthy of being the second lady of the general's family. You are quite thoughtful. In this case, I will taste this fine Maozi wine and slowly catch up with this little bastard." Feng Ji nodded with satisfaction.

Zuo Xin hurriedly got up and called two maids to clean up the food on the table. Then she ran to the backyard herself, picked up a jar of the best Maozi and brought it over. She poured wine for Feng Ji and Gu Chan, cleverly delaying time.

Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, and was extremely grateful to Zuo Xin in her heart.

In a situation like this, if it were Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue, they would have been frightened by Feng Ji's powerful aura. She also had to admit that Zuo Xin was worthy of being born into a military family and was very courageous and determined.
